If there's something better to listen to than the sound of a merlin engine, then I haven't heard it. After all , it powered the two most important Allied planes in the war.(althought the Russians could make a case for their fighters, I suppose) Without the P-51, the Focke Wulfe's and BF109's would have continued to make mincemeat out of the B-17s and Lancaster Bombers, and without the Spitfire (and Hurricane), Britain would have faced certain German invasion, and the whole course ( and possible outcome) of the war would have been changed.
Alrot, this is a Spitfire (and a beautiful one at that) , it says so in the thread title. ;)
